Chapter Fourteen; Friends Like Us

HA! HA! I love the fact that in your story the first name of the bully was Billy. I do notice a couple errors here and there but nothing too major at all! I'm really enjoy it and I don't think it's corny at all! And I forgot to say that yeah Chucky always looked like a toddler to me too, (in his doll form) and that's why he has such trouble holding onto Mary now that she's bigger than him which they used to be about the same size, and even though back then she was a little bit smaller, it was still a struggle for him. But don't worry I think you're going to really love the next few chapters now that we are getting closer and closer to the happy ending. And as a special bonus, towards the end of the story, (Gabrielle) I'll have an extra special surprise for you! As always thanking you for all your reviews and support and enjoy the next chapter! Oh and I think you meant don't let her not recover her memory.

That night Chucky had an awful lot of trouble getting to sleep. He couldn't forget the fact that the little girl whom he had loved, adored, and cherished for so many years know didn't recognize who he was. That thought haunted him throughout the night. What if she never remembered him? The next morning Chucky decided then and there that he wasn't about to let that happen. So after he got up, showered, and ate breakfast, he went back down to the parking lot and drove down to the hospital in the rental car that they had been using. Chucky carried a huge cardboard box inside the building and waited until he was called to see Mary.

The little girl awoke and sat up immediately as he came into the room. "You again?" she questioned. "What do you want now?" she asked as Chucky dropped the box and hopped up onto her bed. "To talk to you about something." He began. "Listen kid, you have to remember me. You just have to." He told her. "I'm sorry I really don't, I wish I did though. And who exactly are you anyway?" she asked him. "Kid," he began before placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I'm your best friend, and you're mine too." He explained.

"You are?" she questioned. "But I don't even know you." She told him with a shake of her head as Chucky simply heaved a sigh. "Alright, fine you don't believe me I'll show you. Here." He began as he dug deep into his pocket and took out the bling necklace. "Remember this? You gave it to me a few years ago when I first became a part of your family." He told her as he placed it inside her hand. "But I thought you said that you were my friend." She said with uncertainty. "I know, I did say that but we sort of have a special relationship you and me. We go way back kid, and we've had a lot of wonderful times together." He told her as leapt back down onto the ground and pulled out a portrait of them when they were having a picnic at the park with her mother.

He climbed back up on top of the bed and handed it over to her. "You can't beat the relationship that we have kid." He began before he started to sing to her. "Spring is on the hillside, and the skies are in easy blue. It's a perfect time for all those things that we both love to do." He sung as Mary's memory suddenly had a flashback to the time they had the picnic and she could see it come back to life inside her mind.

Like taking walks,

And having talks,

Or staring at the stars.

While slowly we discover,

Who we want and who we are.

Now Mary imagined the two of them running through the great green grass together, laughing and playing, as they rushed down to the creek and ran through the water together. Then she saw herself leaping on top of Chucky and tumbling down a huge hill before landing on top of his chest while he gazed up at her and grinned.

Seasons come, and seasons go,

And the world keeps rolling round.

You've got me, and I've got you,

And that's the sweetest thing we've found.

It takes a little time to find a heart you really trust.

It'll take you to forever and make you friends like us.

Now Mary remembered the time that she was playing hide and seek inside the woods with Chucky. She quietly giggled to herself as Chucky tried to find her up inside her treehouse. Then with a grin, she leapt down to the ground behind him. Chucky quickly turned around and gasped before the two of them busted out laughing.

Summer is a dating,

Drifting through the trees.

Whatever we can dream of,

Is something we can be.

Mary's mind flashed back to the time when she watched the sunset together on top of her treehouse, and then about how that night they had camped out inside their backyard and had laid on their backs gazing up at the stars and counting the constellations up in the night sky.

Like watching early evening fall,

Or counting fireflies.

The harvest moon above us,

As crickets sing their lullabies.

Seasons come and season go,

And the world keeps rolling round.

You've got me,

And I've got you,

And that's the sweetest thing we've found.

It takes a little time to find,

A heart you really trust.

It'll take you to forever, and make you friends like us.

Now Mary pictured her and Chucky outside on the patio when they carved their Halloween pumpkin together, and the time when they had a snowball fight out in the backyard just before Christmas.

Well autumn comes and winter's close behind,

A friend is someone you can turn to when the sun don't shine.

Mary remembered that time that Chucky comforted her during the rainstorm before she continued listening to him singing to her. "Well, seasons come and seasons go, but the world keeps rolling round. You've got me and I've got you and that's the sweetest thing we've found. It takes a little time to find a heart you really trust. It'll take you to forever, to make you friends like us." He sung when suddenly everything came back to Mary as she looked back down at the bling necklace inside her hand. "Oh Chucky!" she cried before throwing her arms around him. Chucky closed his eyes and deepened the embrace.

Awww! Wasn't that sweet? The song is from one of my favorite Christmas movies called Annabelle's Wish. Not that I want to think about Christmas yet LOL I just love the song! What a beautiful relationship they have. *sigh* I wish I had a friend like that.
